Mulligatawny is a curry-flavoured soup of Anglo-Indian origin. Translated literally from Tamil, Mulligatawny or Milagu thanni means pepper water. The dish the Anglo-Indians call pepper water is actually closer to Tamil ரசம்-rasam than mulligatawny. There are many variations on the recipe for mulligatawny. In the West, the soup typically has a turmeric-like yellow colour and chicken meat, beef, or lamb meat. Often it is thickened with rice.

James Cleveland Owens, more commonly known as Jesse Owens, was an American track and field athlete who is widely recognized as one of the greatest athletes in the history of sport. He was born on September 12, 1913, in Oakville, Alabama and passed away on March 31, 1980. Owens is best known for his remarkable performance in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he won four gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4 x 100 meter relay events, shattering multiple world records and defying Adolf Hitlers Aryan supremacy theory amidst the growing tensions of World War II. His accomplishments contributed significantly to the desegregation of American sports.

Limnologically refers to pertaining or related to limnology, which is the scientific study of physical, chemical, meteorological, and biological conditions and processes in fresh waters, particularly relating to ponds and lakes.

Avalokiteshvara is a bodhisattva associated with compassion as presented in Mahayana Buddhism. In Chinese Buddhism, Avalokiteshvara has evolved into the somewhat different female figure Guanyin. In Buddhism, a bodhisattva is an enlightened being who, out of compassion, forgoes nirvana in order to save others. Avalokiteshvara is often depicted in art with multiple heads and arms symbolizing his ability to perceive the suffering of all beings and to reach out in all directions to help them.

Hungarian sauce typically refers to a type of rich sauce made from a base of roux and stock, mixed with paprika and other seasonings. The most common Hungarian sauce is referred to as paprikash, which features prominent use of Hungarian sweet paprika. The sauce is usually combined with dishes like meats, vegetables, or noodles. Some mustard, sour cream or tomatoes might be added as well. The heat level can vary, but it is typically on the mild side. It is immensely popular in and synonymous with Hungarian cuisine.

The Humboldt Current, also called the Peru Current, is a cold, low-salinity ocean current that flows north along the western coast of South America. It is an eastern boundary current flowing in the direction of the equator, and extends 500–1,000 km (310–620 mi) offshore. The Humboldt Current is named after the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt even though it was discovered by José de Acosta 250 years before Humboldt. In 1846, von Humboldt reported measurements of the cold-water current in his book Cosmos.The current extends from southern Chile (~45th parallel south) to northern Peru (~4th parallel south) where cold, upwelled, waters intersect warm tropical waters to form the Equatorial Front. Sea surface temperatures off the coast of Peru, around 5th parallel south, reach temperatures as low as 16 °C (61 °F). This is highly uncharacteristic of tropical waters, as most other regions have temperatures measuring above 25 °C (77 °F). Upwelling brings nutrients to the surface, which support phytoplankton and ultimately increase biological productivity.The Humboldt Current is a highly productive ecosystem. It is the most productive eastern boundary current system. It accounts for roughly 18-20% of the total worldwide marine fish catch. The species are mostly pelagic: sardines, anchovies and jack mackerel. The systems high productivity supports other important fishery resources as well as marine mammals (eared seals and cetaceans) and seabirds. Periodically, the upwelling that drives the systems productivity is disrupted by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event, often with large social and economic impacts. The Humboldt has a considerable cooling influence on the climate of Chile, Peru and Ecuador. It is also largely responsible for the aridity of Atacama Desert in northern Chile and coastal areas of Peru and also of the aridity of southern Ecuador. Marine air is cooled by the current and thus is not conducive to generating precipitation (although clouds and fog are produced).

The reaction between liquid surfaces of different kinds or between liquid and solid surfaces due to surface tension. Its phenomena are greatly modified by electric charging, which alters the surface tension. Capillarity is the cause of solutions creeping, as it is termed. Thus in gravity batteries a crust of zinc sulphate often formed over the edge of the jar due to the solution creeping and evaporating. As a liquid withdraws from a surface which it does not wet, creeping as above is prevented by coating the edge with paraffin wax, something which water does not moisten. It also causes the liquids of a battery cell to reach the connections and injure them by oxidation. The solutions creep up in the pores of the carbons of a battery and oxidize the clamps. To give good connections a disc of platinum or of lead is used for the contact as not being attacked. Another way is to dip the upper ends of the dry and warm carbons into melted paraffin wax, or to apply the wax to the hot carbons at the top, and melt it in with a hot iron.

Long-Term Capital Management L.P. (LTCM) was a highly-leveraged hedge fund. In 1998, it received a .6 billion bailout from a group of 14 banks, in a deal brokered and put together by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.LTCM was founded in 1994 by John Meriwether, the former vice-chairman and head of bond trading at Salomon Brothers. Members of LTCMs board of directors included Myron Scholes and Robert C. Merton, who three years later in 1997 shared the Nobel Prize in Economics for having developed the Black–Scholes model of financial dynamics.LTCM was initially successful, with annualized returns (after fees) of around 21% in its first year, 43% in its second year and 41% in its third year. However, in 1998 it lost .6 billion in less than four months due to a combination of high leverage and exposure to the 1997 Asian financial crisis and 1998 Russian financial crisis. The master hedge fund, Long-Term Capital Portfolio L.P., collapsed soon thereafter, leading to an agreement on September 23, 1998, among 14 financial institutions for a .65 billion recapitalization under the supervision of the Federal Reserve. The fund was liquidated and dissolved in early 2000.LTCM can also be described as using an absolute return strategy in combination with high leverage.
